Surrogate Compensation
Surrogacy is rewarding, both personally and financially. And while total compensation depends on a variety of factors, VIVO Surrogacy is proud to offer some of the most generous compensation packages available.
Surrogate compensation varies depending on the state you live in and whether you are a first-time or an experienced surrogate. Base pay for first-time surrogates ranges from $44,000 – $55,000!
The outline below presents a range of surrogacy payment options, and can help you determine what you could earn as a surrogate in our program. It is important to keep in mind that you will only receive full compensation if you do become pregnant and successfully deliver a baby for the intended parents you are helping.
